Path to CRNA instructor ?
Register Today!- by murse916 Nov 28, '12I was just wondering how one became a CRNA instructor at a university. Do you need to get a DNP or will a master's degree suffice?

- Nov 29, '12 by missnurse01It depends upon what class you are thinking about teaching. The program I will start has phd's in their science classes as instructors (physiology, medicinal chem, etc). Otherwise, the other instructors that are CRNAs are either already phd's, dnp/dnap, or are in school now.
